The queen of darkness

Posted on Wed, 10 Jul 2013 by KiM

I was shocked to discover recently that we have never done a proper post featuring the brilliance that is designer Abigail Ahern. Jo and I have been obsessed with her for years, as her dark, dramatic and vintage approach to decorating is so appealing to us both. I’m sure most of you are familair with her work and these photos, but I had to share because Abigail ROCKS and I feel the need to sing her praises. (To white or to black…that is the question….)

LOOOOOOVE the penguin lamp above that Abigail designed as part of her new collection for Debenhams.

New from Carl Dahlstedt

Posted on Mon, 8 Jul 2013 by KiM

It’s been far too long since I blogged the fabulousness that is the photography of Stockholm’s Carl Dahlstedt. These photos are just so real, and such beautiful glimpses into people’s personal spaces. That’s it too – they feel so personal. I much prefer that to overly staged and predictable.
P.S. Sorry for those looking for the pets on furniture feature – I didn’t receive enough entries this past week for a post. It should be back next week!

Laura Moss

Photographer Laura Moss has captured my imagination. Her shots are full of beautiful light, unusual angles, clever composition and a little bit of honesty in a photoshopped world. Do I spy a lamp cord front and centre for all to see? So that’s how they turn it on 😉

Britquirk

Posted on Wed, 26 Jun 2013 by midcenturyjo

Britboho. Britbrash. Britquirk. Brittattered. Britstyle. Homes with personality. Homes that don’t take themselves seriously. Homes that look great with kids in them and the remains of last night’s boozy dinner with friends left uncleared on the table. Dogs and rambling gardens and wellies and knocks and dings and tarnish and way too much dusting and layers and layers of memories and family treasures. I love Britboho. I love this East Sussex home from locations firm Wilde & Watson. From the front door to the back paddock…. imperfectly perfect.
